  • I HATE Official Scorers...

    Cards Giants...Franklin is having his typical tightrope walking appearance, but has 2 outs in the 9th with Tejada up. Good battle, but Franklin finally gets Tejada to fly out to deep left center...except that Rasmus drops the ball and 2 runs score. Ball hit player right in the glove, player drops ball, error, right? Nope, it's ruled a double and both runs are charged to Franklin...

    Official scoring is a complete joke these days

      It's not the most egregious call I've ever seen, because of the distance traveled and the angle on the ball, but yeah, I agree, if a ball hits off a standing non jumping player's glove, it should be an error. Seeing that play on SC, I assumed it was an error.

        Totally disgraceful. If I am covering a high school baseball game for the local newspaper, that's an error. It's certainly an error on a major league player. God, scorekeepers need to grow some balls.

          The exact same play yesterday in the Rays/WhiteSox game where Fuld dropped the ball that hit in his glove.....immediately ruled an error.
